Old guy next door who loaned me that big van, died a couple of years ago, and his daughter isn't really coping with home ownership. She's been away ~3 months looking after an ex who was having heart surgery. So I had a bit of time to think as I wombled around doing this, and concluded doing something for a neighbour was pretty appropriate for Anzac day.

Oh yeah, and @governorsam gave me a Jaffle iron yonks ago, I finally put handles on it for holiday beach fire eating

Middy's phone has a soggy battery, and she's complained it doesn't always charge in the car. The cig plug was coming out of the socket, so Now I can go back to ignoring the phone battery

Pffft. That sound like engineering. do not reccommend. Fasterer to test, break fix test. Apollo 5 anyone?

Oh man. I thought I was commiserating that the bastards had hidden the salient deets. Apparently I've also failed (passed?) my autism test. lol.

I have only just now realised what's going to happen the streets of Chch when Bort's old man pops his clogs....

I should clarify. I have timing light. I make no claim about knowledge

O_o

Will bring. I'll buy youse a boiger. Ah well then, you'll just be owing a wee favour, and you can just help us out like, sometime.

You'd spotted the little wiring clue hiding in an icon on that page?

call me Ken

Then I will bring a 2T hero helmet.

Yeah, maybe a Wednesday burger sesh in a month?

It's perfect. don't change a thing

Nicely done, wedging some torque into the impellor old chap. Nice bit of fettling, that. Gosh I say, I don't mean to be impertinent, but the commutator did rather catch my eye. I had a chat to my man Goggle, and he offered this: I just cant help but a nagging feeling that the someone might have scarpered with a bit of your spinny thing. but well, it's running fine, so I'm probably just imagining it. So sorry to have troubled you, old bean!

Yeah CANbus is kinda industrialised i2c-ish, but made robust for auto use, and it has deterministic servicing order, so the brake controller messages go through before the one asking if the light for the lip-stick-heater-indicator lamp is on.

Big bike clutch: many plates sandwich, with alternate plates toothed inward VS outward.

Hooo yeah mang. She's biig country down there. Awse! WD

Some small car enhancements, as opposed to some small car enhancements: Prius rear-view was vibrating a little on the trapezoid mount on the windscreen. This is a toyerda. We don't need that crap. we have other crap to enjoy. I got a bit of random skanky hose, put a scallop cut in one end to nudge the mirror stem. Boom. I now have crystal clear view of the cops following me who have zero interest in the Prius I'm driving. I'd cut down an window shade for the Dai, but it's missing a sun visor to hold the passenger side, so I hot-gooed some left-over Neodymium magnets to it. Now I don't have to bother fixing the actual problem:

I'm thinking my next fun project will have a SA0v1.69bis standard protocol. That's the Shitty-Add-On 2nd version.

And now for something completely different:

Also install the thermostat fan control or similar (is manual at the mo). Cover for the starter relay terminals, or rubber boots. To avoid shorts when placing the battery holder rods.

I got rid of this when middy was away, she didn't see it. 2 days later: I want a baby Weber...

Or imperial head with metric thread. Did the car go for a run?
